Hi
I have been trying quite hard to find information about this on these forums and the internet but don’t seem to be able to track anything down. I have read all the articles and forums and none of them seem to mention if it is possible to come to spain as a non EU citizen with the specific intention of working autonomo.
I am a New Zealand citizen who is looking at relocating to Spain permanently. What is the process for a non EU citizen becoming autonomo, i am looking at both teaching English and doing some freelance writing via an agency based in the UK, i am not, however, able to get a freelancers visa. I am a UK resident so would not have to go back to NZ to apply for any visas, and am able to make regular quick trips to spain if need be.
Do i still need to have an employer saying that they will give me a contract to get into spain, and would this be easier to obtain as an autonomo? What type of long term visas would i need to apply for to get entry and residence into spain? Is it even possible for a non EU citizen to enter Spain and become autonomo immediately. If there are any government or consulate sites that i could be directed to it would be a great help.
Basically any info relating to becoming autonomo for a non EU citizen would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot
